A very, very windy day. A nice walk. Crunchy leaves underfoot. Sea foam blizzard.

Yes you have spotted it we walked this section backwards plays havoc with navigation  as we have to keep the sea on our left!

It was windy walking knee deep in the forest of leaves so the thought of trying  to be artistic with our group photo by throwing the leaves but the result? Humm you let us know!

Our last trip of 2018 & what a great year for walking it has been here’s to 2019 lets hope we can continue.

A very windy day. A nice walk. Amazing seas. Nice little horses. Sea foam.

A lovely sunny day with some beautiful sun & cloud formations you sometimes forget to look up to see the sky as the path can be tricky in places so concentration on placing your feet takes over but just look at the sky in the photos to see.

The path is quiet at this time of year just as we like it soaking up the salt filled air & warm rays of the sun we head along to our finish point passing over a beautiful bridge built it the shape of a ship.

A windy day. A nice walk. Amazing seas. A brave (but none too successful surfer). An exciting and dramatic dash across a small bay!

Look how windy it is and how awesome and brave this surfer was!



And watch this dramatic dash!

Yay we made it to Cornwall for another epic walking holiday, Today its only been 9.23 miles but a point in our history to be celebrated nearly having wet feet due to the somewhat daft idea that running across the beach with the tide slightly too high (See Martins video) we have made it to the Lizard.
